Tried my 1st Ugli fruit this year. When my friend Bonni dropped by she gifted me with one. Thanks Bonni! :) To get the most of the experience ate it on its own peeling it like an orange. A tasty citrus fruit which this article speaks of its great nutritional value. Hybridization can occur naturally it is gmo and scientific manipulation one has to be wary of! Theres a fruit out there that basically looks like you could develop a rash upon touching it, let alone eating it. Even its name is odd: ugli fruit. In some ways, it resembles an avocado gone rogue, but its significantly larger, lumpier, speckled with knobby yellow and green hues and tastes nothing like an avocado. But, as the saying goes, its whats on the inside that counts. This is definitely true for ugli fruit, a tangelo hybrid from Jamaica that is grapefruit, oranges and tangerines all in one. Despite its grotesque outward appearance, its rich in antioxidants, vitamin C, fiber, and folate and is also low in calories. Additionally, its tasty, with a unique combination of sweetness that carries a subtle zing. While these blood pressure-lowering and digestive benefits are wonderful for our health, there are those who consider it shun-worthy because its a hybrid.
